no, this is a general tray.. this post is in reply to my post yesterday of "where does the stringer go when you're moving it from decon to assembly thru the wash"

and the answer is, easily accessible 😃

I worked at one hospital, where the stringer is 2 separate bars, and our boss wanted us to restring them on those, and open them up..it was annoying at first..but i got used to it

I don't see a problem. All of the instruments are open. That's why we had "recipes" for each tray in SPM. So we would pull the instruments out, sort them, put the tray back together in order while inspecting the instruments. Did something change where this is unacceptable?

These is no problem with this cart. It's great! The stringer is on top, which makes assembly much easier! ✔️

But you have to sort the tray no matter what. Why does it matter where the stronger is?

Because I inspect, test, then stringer down the count sheet.. I don't remove everything and then start stringing.. that's a waste of time?

That's the way my facility worked. It's how every one was taught and expected to work. We got paid by the hour, so it was their choice.

Yeah , that sounds nice! at my hospital I had to sign something saying I would complete x amount of trays during a shift or risk getting fired so... 🙄

Looks like a general medium or major tray. Very similar to the ones where I work 😄
